Can we gene edit ticks to not carry diseases? Same with skitters please!
Why not edit them to be sterile eventually. Do they really provide a real benefit?
A lot of things eat them
A lot of things eat a lot of other things too. The only concern I can think of is being afraid that something worse might somehow fulfill its biological niche.
Gene therapy all the way down!
I think that’s the goal! Mosquitos are already being fought this way where genetically modified males are introduced to the environment who are stronger and faster than the locals but their offsprings are sterile. It’s a wildly effective strategy!
